Multiple Choice

Which scripture supports the name of the COGIC?

The key idea this question tests is how Scripture describes a church’s identity in relation to God and Christ, which is exactly what the name Church of God in Christ emphasizes. The verse in question says that the brethren became followers of “the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus.” Here you see two crucial ideas together: churches belonging to God (“churches of God”) and churches that are “in Christ Jesus.” This mirrors the denomination’s name by showing that the church belongs to God and is defined by its union with Christ. The other verses focus on different themes (God’s love, divine power, or general good that comes from God) and don’t address how a church is identified in relation to God and Christ, so they don’t illustrate the naming pattern as clearly.
